Note: There is an updated version of the Bauerfeind GenuTrain Comfort >
Features
- Five additional comfort sizes of the GenuTrain with increased thigh dimensions. They are particularly suitable for patients with a conical leg shape.
- Omega pad: An integrated, ring-shaped visco-elastic pad surrounds the patella with two pressure points on the distal section of the pad and two lateral wings at the level of the menisci.
- Knitted fabric concept: A highly elastic, breathable and moisture wicking for excellent wearing comfort.
- An especially soft knit fabric for the popliteal area.
- Anatomically knit for optimum fit and highly secure positioning.
- Compression-reduced edges divert pressure at the ends of the support
- Integrated donning aid makes the support easier to put on
- Lateral and medial zinc-coated steel wire stays
- The same design for the right and left sides.
INDICATIONS
- Irritation (Tendomyopathy, ligament insertion degeneration, meniscopathy, osteoarthritis, arthritis, and chronic, post-traumatic or post-operative treatment)
- Tendency toward instability
- Relapsing joint effusion(swelling)
MODE OF ACTION
- The Omega pad redistributes compression away from the patella to the surrounding soft tissues.
- Knee joint movement massages the parapatellar soft tissue structures through the formed padded ring.
- The compression and massage effects accelerate the reabsorption of edema and effusions and help relieve pain.
- The pressure points of the Omega pad exert pressure on the infrapatellar fat pad. They reduce pressure and alleviate pain in the retropatellar area.
- The lateral wings of the Omega pad reach the front parts of the meniscus and reduce pain by exerting intermittent compression.
- Complex stimulation of the proprioceptors by the support has a positive effect on the sensorimotor system and thus on muscle control.
AVAILABLE AS CUSTOM MADE PRODUCT
- GenuTrain can be ordered as a truly custom made-to-measure product.
- Made in Germany with the same high quality knit fabric and materials.
- Custom-made for patients who cannot be given an optimal fit with standard sizes. Perfect if you have pronounced thigh or calf muscles, or a leg that’s taller or shorter
- The support remains securely in position during movement and the compression knit and the viscoelastic pads can achieve their maximum effect.
